Opinions on nice smaller shoaling fish?

It's pretty tough to pull a shoal off in a 75 gallon tank...I would venture to say almost impossible. Much easier in gargantuan tanks of several hundred gallons. Banggai Cardinals shoal pretty well if you have say 6-8, but that's too many for your tank.

I have a bristletooth tang that is pretty active and zooms around the tank and rockwork frequently. But no other "aggressive fish". Was thinking about a dottyback though

I think that the dartfish might get a bit big to add 4 or 5. I think 5 blue eyed cardinals would still stay small enough to be in there.
